Once again, I was away from home, this time at our women’s ministry retreat. But I’m always working…doesn’t this look like a great place to hide a body?? And that streak? It’s a tiny bit of sunlight that broke through the trees. A funny that happened…I sleep with a pillow under my legs and when I made the bed up, …
Reader Friday – Conspiracy of Silence
[tweet_dis_img inject=”Can Cole “Tox” Russell redeem his reputation and bring his men back together?”][/tweet_dis_img] This week I’m reviewing a book by Ronie Kendig that I read over a year ago, mostly because I still think about the characters and the story, and any book that stays with me that long deserves a review! Here’s the back cover copy: Four years after …
Stupid Criminals again
Last week was a whirlwind of traveling, first to Mendenhall, Mississippi, for an afternoon with Mississippi Authors at the library there…thank you Rhoda Benton for inviting me! From there I drove to Natchez (about 2 hours) and walked downtown, looking for places to hide bodies. 🙂 The above photo is taken at the park across the street from my hotel room. …
Reader Friday – Stars in the Grass
I’m in Natchez, this week and when I took this picture, I was on the bluffs overlooking the river. Natchez is a beautiful old town and I look forward to exploring more of it. About a month ago, I read a really good book that was a featured book for the ACFW Book Club – Stars in the Grass by Ann …
The Perfect Crime
This week I’ll be near Jackson, Mississippi, for an author get-together at the Mendenhall Library and then on to Natchez for research on the new series that will be set there. It’s going to be a busy week! Now onto last week’s Mystery Question. It’s 1985 and a man and his wife took up farming. An arrogant attitude and two …
Reader Friday – Life on the Porcelain Edge
This past week I read Life on the Porcelain Edge by C. E. Hilbert and loved it! Here’s the back cover copy: Tessa Tarrington’s life is swirling out of control. No job. No apartment. Sick Dad…And she’s back in high school! Teaching at her Gibson’s Run alma mater would be tolerable, except she’s sharing purgatory with her mortal enemy, Ryland …
Murder or Justifiable Homicide?
Last week this time I was on a plane to Florida to see my great grand Aliyah! The drawing is one that a friend did for me. I thought the cowgirl outfit was perfect since I’m sure she’ll be riding horses before she can walk. 🙂 When I left Memphis it was in the 40s and when I got off the …
From the Police Blotter
[tweet_dis_img inject=”How hard is it to write a blog with a cat in your lap?”][/tweet_dis_img] What we won’t do for our pets. I’m trying to write this blog, but Suzy wants to take a nap in my lap, so I’m sitting here all twisted sideways so I won’t disturb her. 🙂 Now back to the blog… I’m taking a break …
Reader Friday – Bloomed to Die
I guess you could say I’ve spent the last four days Spring Cleaning after a week of cleaning my office and filling six trash bags and one huge leaf bag, I’m almost done. Monday morning, you couldn’t even see the table and I had so much piled on my computer desk, you could barely see the laptop! Two back to …
Mystery Question
This past weekend my Byhalia Christian Writers group put on a writing conference just outside of Memphis and we had 130 attendees! That is amazing for our little group of about fifteen writers. Brandilyn Collins was our keynote speaker, and she was FANTASTIC! And on Friday Hallee Bridgeman gave a workshop on Indie Publishing that was so informative. So writers, …
